Above- and below-ground competition in high and low irradiance: tree seedling responses to a competing liana Byttneria grandifolia
In tropical forests, trees compete not only with other trees, but also with lianas, which may limit tree growth and regeneration. Liana effects may depend on the availability of aboveand below-ground resources and differ between tree species. We conducted a shade house experiment to test the effect of light (4% and 35% full sun, using neutral-density screen) on the competitive interactions betw...
متن کاملA below-ground herbivore shapes root defensive chemistry in natural plant populations.
Plants display extensive intraspecific variation in secondary metabolites. However, the selective forces shaping this diversity remain often unknown, especially below ground. Using Taraxacum officinale and its major native insect root herbivore Melolontha melolontha, we tested whether below-ground herbivores drive intraspecific variation in root secondary metabolites. We found that high M. melo...
متن کاملabove- and below-ground competition between chenopodium album and sugar beet
the effects of above and below-ground competition between chenopodium album and sugar beet (beta vulgaris) on growth, yield and quality of two sugar beet cultivars of morphologically contrasting growth habit have been investigated a factorial experiment (2 × 4) under glass-house conditions in a randomised complete block design with three replications was done. c. album and two sugar beet cultiv...
متن کاملRoots in space: a spatially explicit model for below-ground competition in plants.
Game theory provides an untapped framework for predicting how below-ground competition will influence root proliferation in a spatially explicit environment. We model root competition for space as an evolutionary game. In response to nutrient competition between plants, an individual's optimal strategy (the spatial distribution of root proliferation) depends on the rooting strategies of neighbo...
متن کاملThe Tree Property Below
An important remark is that in the model for the main theorem אω is not strong limit, in particular 21 = אω+2. In doing so we avoid a difficult question of Woodin’s which asks whether it is consistent to have the failure of both SCH and weak square at אω. The main theorem of this paper should be compared with a theorem in [9] where a similar result is obtained for successive failures of weak sq...
